Review of Masculin Féminin (1966) by Bill M — 04 May 2015

Here are two or three things I know about Jean-Luc Godard: I don't get it, I don't get it, and I don't get it. His actors definitely have a certain je-ne-sais-quoi -- some of the least unenjoyable scenes in the movie are the ones when people are just talking to each other (usually about nonsense).

But I can't handle the terrible production values -- okay, I guess low budget in 1966 doesn't mean the same thing as low budget today, but the source sound is terrible, and the editing seems tossed off sometimes.

He has three films in the Sight & Sound Top 50, and I haven't seen any of them yet -- maybe they will eventually help me understand why this guy is important...
